Dollface...CindyC

Glad Luna will be heading to her forever home soon. I know you will miss her, but I'm sure she'll be loved by your SIL.  

-Cindy

Lou I love her name!  and I'm so happy you get to keep her.  I know you missed Lil Lou so much when he came home with us.   The girls were very upset last week as it has been a full year since Lil Lou was hit by a car.    We still all miss him so much!   We talk about adopting another kitten all the time, but honestly, we just aren't ready. Lil Lou left an indelible mark on all of us and we'll never find another kitten like him.  He was a love, crazy and just plain made us laugh.   

We still have our other two, Jack who's 5 now and Misty who's 8.     There are two neighborhood cats that visit every day; Fat Bo —  who is really, really fat, and who just wants to be friends, but my cats are not interested.   And Ninja kitty - a very small, thin all black feral (i think) cat who Jack is buddies with.  We've even had to remove the cat door as Jack taught Ninja kitty to get inside, and he sprayed in my living room YUCK!       I'm trying to get Ninja kitty to trust us (feeding him when we see him, talking to him, ect;  but so far, no luck. He wont' let me within 5 feet of him... and he's fast!   I'm worried about the winter time as he's so thin.  But I'm working on it.    I want to get him fixed and get his shots.  wish me luck.

Lou--and advice on befriending a feral cat?

Miss all my fiend friends!! Hope everyone is well.

I'm so happy Lulu found a home!   And that you get to enjoy a new kitten while you wait for her to get big enough to spay.

I'll be thinking of you and her over the next few days.  I hope it all goes well.

Wow, Lou I'm humbled with the offer... 

Let me talk it over with Ken... I really wasn't thinking this would be possible. Just wishful thinking. ya know what I mean?   Kind of a sweet daydream. not reality.

I feel for my older cat, Misty who's 8 yrs old and I'm afraid she wouldn't like a new addition....   Even after almost an entire year, she hadn't warmed up to Louie.   

Anyway, keep looking for a home for her closer to FL. :-) and I'll have a heart to heart with Ken on weather or not we can take a 3rd cat.  

Your an amazing man Lou!  and I do wish we lived closer or could visit the Fort often.    Love all you Fort Fiends!  You guys are wonderful!

Cindy

I hope it works out w gettimg her as a friend for your cat. She look sweet and I'm sure she'll love being part of your family.

Anyone traveling from FL to the northeast anytime soon?   :)  
I've already fallen in love with the little girl.  sigh.  

Cindy

ohh She's beautiful!!!!   I want her!  
I wish we could!   Unfortunately, It will be a long time before we get to go back to WDW.

But I'll show Ken her photo tonight. :) hee hee hee.      Sigh.. wishful thinking.   I hope she finds a wonderful home.

Cindy

Man this makes me miss Fort Wilderness.... and no trips planned anytime in the next few years :-(  sigh... 

So nice to see that Mama cat is doing so well.  Our family still misses Lil Lou.  The house just isnt' the same without him.  

We still have our two other cats, Jack and Misty.  I must say Jack seems to have found a neighborhood black kitty friend, which is good as he was so depressed after Lou was gone (he pulled all the fur off his belly---he and Louie were best buds).  And Misty is sleeping in peace now that the boys don't bother her anymore. 

We are still thinking of getting another kitten, but just are not over the loss of lil Louie.  

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.   The Fort Fiends is an amazing group!

My girls suggest: Marcus and Jester as good names.

I liked Buster and Dobby too. those both seem to fit his face.

Cindy

Man, I really miss little Lou. :-(    I miss his "big" personality and I'm I'm really going to miss watching him play in the snow. We'll never have another cat like him :-(

I'm so, so, so, sorry to have to let you all know that Little Lou passed away Aug 27th. 

He was hit by a car following my neighbor down to the main road on a very busy morning. He crossed the road three times back and forth, and was hit. We buried him in the back yard next to our other cat and the girls painted stones for a marker.  We miss him very, very much.

Broken hearted,

Cindy

Louie has her face. :)   She's so pretty!

Yes. Lou told me Momma cat still comes by for some petting and food. :-)

Here's another photo from today.  Lou with his friend Bailey (the neighbor's dog).

Update.

He's about 8lbs now and I'm not sure he'll get any bigger. He's a very happy, vocal cat. He'll meow or chirp at us when we get home from work. He gets along great w/ our other boy cat, Jack, but Misty is still leary of him... but Louie keeps trying to "make friends" until he decides it more fun to chase her around the house.   He seems happy and healthy.

He loves going outside and is getting to be a decent hunter (he caught a Garter snake and killed it this week).  That's my boy!

Here's a recent photo of Lou and Jack snoozing beside my closet. :-)

I miss everyone!!! Hope you are all doing well.

Tell Mama cat Lil Lou says Hi Mom!!!

Lou actually loved the snow ! He's a true New Englander now!

Louie says, "I wanna go back to Florida!"

Hi Dave! It's Italian flavored pickled veggies.

HI Mo, We stopped at the in PA the first night in Carlisle I-81 , Exit# 47. We took the "long" way to avoid Rt 95 south.

And then in SC in Walterboro I-95 , Exit# 53.

Here's little Lou napping on the couch w/ Ken and my girls.

We did the drive down from NH last summer 1500 miles. We left Friday late afternoon and we stopped and stayed in Cracker Barrel parking lots both Fri & Sat nights. My girls were 9 & 6 at the time. They did surprisingly well for the entire drive!!! I was very happy. They slept most of Friday night as we drove till about midnight. Then Sat we took turns swapping places in VA (they allow as young as 8 to sit in the front). We stopped at a playground for lunch ( I made sandwiches while the girls played)--Just pulled off the highway and stopped at a gas station, they pointed us to the nearest playground. We did the same thing for supper. Drove till 11:30pm, we were at the Fort around 1pm on Sunday.
